Eating Veggies to Fight Cancer

Well it's taken me a while to get this page going- but I get over loaded with info and then stall out. I was getting caught up in a lot of info on estrogen and phytoestrogens and well wasn't sure what to do. So the safest bet for me it to just stick to my tamoxifen and add in the supplements Dr. Deng suggested.

I spoke to a doctor friend of mine- and I asked her opinion and she said- take your tamoxifen and the multi-vitamin and any others my doc suggested- AND EAT your VEGGIES and FRUIT!
Also suggested exercise- and A LOT OF WALKING OUT SIDE!
She believes in getting oxygen to cells of our body. Especially in the winter - GET OUT SIDE!In 1931 Otto Warburg won a Nobel Price for the connection he discovered between oxygen and cancer. He found that cancer cells are anaerobic- meaning they thrive in an oxygen depleted environment. This would be the 4th meal Dr. Deng talked about aerobic activity 30 minutes each day!
